Summary Grifola frondosa is a popular edible mushroom for its tasty flavour and can be used as a dietary supplement for its functional substances. In this study, an exopolysaccharide ( EPS ), purified from the submerged culture of G. frondosa , was chemically modified to obtain its carboxymethylated ( CM ‐ EPS ) and selenising derivatives (Se‐ EPS ). The chemical characteristics of these polysaccharides were determined based on high‐performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC ) and infrared analysis ( IR ). The antioxidant and antitumour activities of EPS and its derivatives were further investigated, respectively. The results showed that the antioxidant capacity of CM ‐ EPS and Se‐ EPS were much better than that of EPS . Moreover, the Se‐ EPS could significantly inhibit the proliferation of Hela cells compared with EPS . This study demonstrated that the carboxymethylation and selenylation played a great influence on enhancing the antioxidant and antitumour activities of exopolysaccharides from G. frondosa .
